Please fill in the correct answer in each blank provided below.

Should it have been 9 instead of 10? Since the code will run at least once, since it's a do while loop and not simply a while loop. If it was simply a while loop then putting 10 would've been fine?

You're right. Because it's a do-while loop, the code will execute at least once. Therefore you would only need to do 9 iterations.

If you were using a while-loop, then you would have to loop through the code 10 times.
